And the part that stuck with me: the agent is the worst possible judge of its own blast radius, because it does not know there are 50k people on that list. @tina_chhabra had pushed the same way earlier in that thread, that this gets worse the moment the agent stops writing code and starts booking meetings or sending email, where you find out after the fact.

And that distinction has teeth commercially: the moment your product becomes infrastructure someone else operates, you usually lose the customer relationship the agent owns the user now, you're just a backend it picks.

... authentic" has gotten paradoxically lower and higher at the same time. Lower because even a slightly rough, specific, human post stands out. Higher because people's BS detectors are finely tuned now. You can't fake texture. Tina's point is right presence compounds. The question is whether you're building a media presence alongside the product, or hoping the product will do the marketing for you. In 2026 you really can't rely on the latter.
